So looking forward to diving into this sonic experience with and this Saturday in Markdale! I have been waiting to do this for sometime now (since taking the intensive with him years back) and the right time has finally come!

Fall is a great time to start something new or to pick up old projects and put a new spin on them.

I have always been inspired and deeply moved by music from a young age, as it has helped me get through pretty much any tough time in life. Music has never failed me, and I hope to share this gift with others

UPDATE POST - YAY!!!

Welcome back to Room 350 @ Orchard Park - Ignatius Centre, Guelph!
I am now accepting new clients as of the beginning of June - Yay!
I share this room with the lovely Naturotherapist Roxana Roshon! She is at RoxanaRoshon.com if you'd like to check out more of what she does! Roxana is a very talented and intuitive healer with various modalities and ancient healing traditions that she draws from -each session is so unique!
Roxana has beautifully and intentionally created a warm and welcoming space with healing and connection in mind, and I am so honoured to be sharing and creating in this space with her, until I am able to create my own home sanctuary space ♡ (P.S. Tom and I just bought a house!!!)
Some even say when they come here, they feel like they are walking into their own living room, and I think it feels pretty cozy, too!
When I am not at my home base treatment space, I am travelling with my table to see clients in their own cozy homes! This is something new I have been trying and I really quite enjoy it! I feels good to change up my environment every now and again! And home visits can be a great option for those who would prefer a treatment in the comfort of their own home at this time (and no need to navigate the world afterwards!). It can also be a more comfortable option for anyone who is experiencing mobility challenges or new mother's who need a time out to replentish, but need to stay close to their little one(s).
Whatever your needs are, I've got you covered!
